title: Oban-py support for Insights and error tracking
date: "2026-07-06"
publisher: Honeybadger
url: "https://www.honeybadger.io/changelog/oban-py-support/"
---

Honeybadger now integrates with [Oban](https://github.com/oban-bg/oban-py) (the Python port of the Elixir background job library).

With this release you can report unhandled worker exceptions and emit per-job telemetry to Honeybadger Insights.

Once the integration is enabled:

- Unhandled worker exceptions are automatically reported to Honeybadger, with worker name, args, queue, and attempt count attached.
- Per-job and maintenance-loop telemetry are sent to Honeybadger Insights.
- When a web request enqueues a background job, that context now carries through to when the job runs — so you can trace the job back to the original request in Insights.

Oban joins our other supported [Python frameworks.](https://www.honeybadger.io/changelog/python-performance-monitoring/)

Keep in mind that this feature requires Python 3.12+ and Oban 0.6.2+. You can read more about it in our [Oban integration documentation.](https://docs.honeybadger.io/lib/python/integrations/other/#oban)
